Smithy Ez-Trol2 - Manual (Page 43)

12 MANUAL DATA INPUT
This field is used for manually entering and executing G-code commands. For instance, it can be
used to verify the position of an offset. First home the machine and then enter a known offset
position such as G55 X0 Y0 Z0 and press enter. This block of code would instruct the machine to
go to the zero point of the offset G55. The position can then be verified with the values in the
position area. (A tutorial for manual G-code program is found in the accompanying manual,
“SmithyCNC G-code Programming Guide”.)
13 SPINDLE
There are three options in the spindle area. The default setting is “OFF”. Selecting the Forward
radio button causes the spindle to rotate in a clockwise rotation. Selecting Reverse causes the
spindle to move in the opposite, counter clockwise rotation. This is for manual operation only; the
settings do not affect the parameters set in the program.
14 COOLANT
There are two options listed in this section, Mist or Flood. Selecting either option will turn your
coolant system on. In order for the coolant system to operate the coolant switch on the control box
must be in the manual position.
